Costa Rica. Thank you, Wayne.
It involves a number of Central American countries who have gone together to get economies of scale when they start to negotiate on agricultural situations. Canada is one of the largest contributors to that group, and in working with them on a case-by-case basis we have developed some trade lines bringing their products in. We are cognizant of the sensitive products like sugar, dairy products, and other SM5 products, and so on. We're working around those situations.
Having said that, there's a tremendous opportunity for us to take our expertise to them and help them grow better products, more environmentally and organically friendly products, and those types of things. It's working very well. He thanked us for our input on that.
We are doing a number of bilaterals with other countries as well to facilitate trade in agricultural goods. We do overproduce in this country to some extent and we do export a tremendous amount of that product. But we have to make sure that what's going out is safe and what's coming in is safe.
On the biofuel side, it's a tremendous chance for producers to be involved. We have structured our products for the biofuels industry so that there is producer involvement. A lot of the subsidies that are available from the federal government are based on the fact that there are producers involved in any particular physical structure and in delivering a product to that. They will make a case-by-case basis as to where they buy their product.
Having said that, there is no surplus of corn in the U.S. and there won't be for the near future as their ethanol industry ramps up. They are an energy-starved nation, as are we, and an industry-challenged nation.
I don't see the use of U.S. corn. I toured the GreenField facility in Johnstown just by Prescott the other day. They are going to be buying between 20 million to 25 million bushels of local corn on an annual basis to produce some 175 million litres of ethanol on an annual basis. They're looking at feeding into that Ontario market. They're also looking towards the future where they can double the capacity and start to export ethanol across the line.
There's a tremendous opportunity for farmers to be involved, not just to deliver to a different warehouse door but actually be part of the next step up in the food or energy processing sector. I think it's a tremendous opportunity.
